(Robert) Hé bien! mon cher directeur...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Two men are standing close to each other, engaged in a discussion. The man on the left is wearing a top hat and a long coat with its lower buttons fastened. He has long wavy hair and distinct facial features, including a prominent nose. The man on the right is slightly hunched forward, wearing a dark suit with a high collar. His hair is parted and combed back, exposing a high forehead and narrow face. The background shows a door with the word "CAISSE" and another door labeled "CABINET DU MR. DIRECTEUR."
